Chapter 46 The words he wrote are worthless
In the audience, the guests burst into applause.
Ji Wuli walked onto the stage amidst the cheers of everyone.
With a smile on his face, he said: "Ji once again expresses his gratitude to everyone for coming. I believe that today's birthday banquet will be a link for your in-depth cooperation with the Ji family in the future. We can trust each other, support each other, and create brilliance together!"
The guests applauded and cheered.
"Master Ji is right, from now on we will follow the leadership of the Ji family!"
"Yes, as long as we work together, no one will look down upon us!"
"..."
Ji Wuli nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, he had a strong premonition.
After today's birthday banquet is successfully concluded, the Ji family's influence in Jiangnan City will be further enhanced.
An existence that can even rival the Jiangnan King Long Ye and the underground emperor Hu Ye!
Ji Wuli continued: "I think you all know that I will not charge any gifts or money for this birthday banquet. After all, Ji values partners more than profits!
And in order to thank all my relatives and friends for coming, I will specially put a picture for you and give it to you! "
The guests present all excitedly praised:
"I've long heard that Master Ji's calligraphy skills are first-rate, even as good as those of some great calligraphers, and today I'm actually lucky enough to witness it!"
"Tsk, tsk, given the status of the head of the Ji family, the words he mentioned are probably worth a thousand dollars!"
"..."
Soon, the staff moved the table to the stage, along with pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
In the expectant eyes of everyone.
Ji Wuli picked up his brush and began to move around on the rice paper, dancing like dragons and phoenixes.
Swish swish.
After a while, a word was written.
The two etiquette ladies raised the rice paper and showed it to everyone.
I saw the four characters "Perseverance" written on it!
The guests in the audience immediately started to praise:
"The character of Ji Family Master is strong and strong, like a silver hook drawn by iron. It perfectly blends with the four characters of 'Perseverance'. How wonderful!"
"What a calligraphy! What a calligraphy! If this were hung in the company's office, it would be a treasure of the town!"
"I wonder if Master Ji can part with his love and give this calligraphy to me? I'm willing to pay a reward!"
"Master Ji, I am also willing to pay for this calligraphy!"
"..."
Ji Wuli said with a troubled look on his face: "You are all my partners, but I only have this piece of writing. No matter who I give it to, it seems unfair!"
Lai Jingye stood up and reminded with a smile: "Master Ji, there is an auction for today's birthday banquet; in my opinion, you might as well put this calligraphy up for auction to give a good start to the next auction!
As for this calligraphy, whoever bids the highest will get it first. This is the most fair and will not hurt everyone's harmony! "
Could it be that Ji Wuli acted on purpose? "But I, Ji, don't covet your money. Isn't it inappropriate to do this?"
Lai Jingye hurriedly said: "What's wrong? Your handwriting is worth thousands of gold, and everyone spends money to buy it from the bottom of their hearts. It's very appropriate!"
With Lai Jingye taking the lead, the rest of the guests naturally also opened their mouths to support.
Let Ji Wuli auction this word!
At this time, Ji Wuli had no choice but to sigh "reluctantly": "Oh! In this case, I would rather obey Ji than respect him! As for the starting price of this calligraphy, I will set it lower, maybe ten thousand yuan."
In the guest seats under the stage, each chair has a bidding sign with a number written on it.
The guests quickly rushed to raise their placards and bid:
"I'll pay 5!"
"I'll pay 8!"
"What's 8? I'll pay 10!"
"..."
The bidding price skyrocketed, quickly reaching over 30, and is still increasing.
You know, the most famous calligraphy master in Jiangnan City only charges more than 20 yuan for an inscription!
This made Ji Wuli on the stage beam with joy.
My self-esteem has been greatly satisfied!
Main table under the stage.
I saw people bidding fiercely for Ji Wuli's words.
Zhang Huilan hurriedly reminded Xiao Qingcheng: "Girl, we can come to the birthday banquet today, and even have the opportunity to become partners with the Rong family, all without the help of the Ji family.
Therefore, you must find a way to take a picture of the calligraphy of Master Ji to leave a good impression on others!
Xiao Nan also agreed: "It is foreseeable that the Ji family's status in Jiangnan City will even surpass Master Hu and Master Long in the future. By then, the value of the Ji family's pen and ink will definitely increase!"
Xiao Qingcheng nodded: "I understand!"
She raised the sign to bid and said loudly: "I'll offer 60!"
Xiao Qingcheng's fate directly increased the bidding price by hundreds of thousands, which caused many cash-strapped guests to give up bidding.
The few remaining guests continue to bid:
"I'll pay 61!"
"I'll pay 63!"
Xiao Qingcheng did not hesitate and raised the sign again: "I will offer 80!"
This time, more than half of the bidding guests were eliminated.
Only two people were left struggling to support themselves.
"I'll pay 81!"
"I'll pay 83!"
Xiao Qingcheng, on the other hand, did not hesitate and directly held up a sign and said, "I will offer 100 million!"
There was an uproar at the scene.
You know, 100 million can afford the calligraphy of a well-known domestic calligraphy master, which far exceeds the value of the calligraphy of Master Ji!
What's more, 100 million in cash is not a small amount.
At least for the millionaire guests here today, it is difficult to come up with it.
Even a guest with a net worth of tens of millions is equivalent to cutting off flesh.
As for guests with a net worth of over 100 million, they can afford million.
But considering that Xiao Qingcheng is not only a celebrity of the Ji family, but also the object of Ji Boduan's admiration, and even has a good chance of becoming a business partner of the Rong family.
Therefore, instead of bidding against her, it is better to go with the flow.
So this time, no one continued to bid with Xiao Qingcheng.
Naturally, this calligraphy was acquired by Xiao Qingcheng at a price of 100 million.
Ji Wuli clapped his hands and smiled with great satisfaction.
"Mr. Xiao is young and promising, and has a keen eye for treasures. Ji really appreciates it. When Miss Rong Meiyan comes later, Ji will definitely recommend it!"
Xiao Qingcheng quickly stood up.
She couldn't hide her excitement and said: "Thank you for your love, Master Ji. Qingcheng will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations!"
After sitting down, Xiao Qingcheng still looked happy.
Zhang Huilan said proudly: "I just said it was right to let you participate in the bidding. Now it is confirmed by the head of the Ji family, how great!"
Xiao Nan smiled and reminded: "Sister, after all, this is the opportunity that Master Ji gave us to attend the birthday banquet. You should thank him more!"
Xiao Qingcheng nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, Young Master Ji."
Ji Boduan pretended to be calm and said: "It's just a small thing. For you, I can do no matter how much you ask me to do!"
He was filled with excitement inside.
If he continues at this pace, it won't be long before he can completely defeat Xiao Qingcheng!
When you are proud.
He looked at Ye Tiance, who was sitting there silently.
He couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Ye, have you seen the difference between you and our Ji family? My dad can sell a piece of text for 100 million just by mentioning it. I'm afraid a waste like you won't be able to make any money in his life." Are you here?"
He originally thought that Ye Tiance would feel inferior and embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, the other party responded calmly: "How much of this 100 million is the artistic value of the words, and how much is flattery, don't you know in your mind?"
Ji Boduan's face changed slightly, and he asked coldly: "What do you mean, my father's calligraphy art is not of high value? Is it all touted by others?"
Ye Tiance smiled lightly and said: "You misunderstood! In my opinion, it's not that his calligraphy has low artistic value, but that it has no value at all and is worthless!"
